Subs Diary
Read full descriptionHide full description
"Here's how I caught $200 a year in payments I'd forgotten about" β just by spotting the subscriptions I no longer used and cancelling them. Netflix. Spotify. That cloud storage from 2019. Three services you're still paying for every month β and you've stopped using two of them. Subs Diary shows you everything you pay for, how much it adds up to, and exactly when each renewal hits β so you can cancel before the money leaves your account. γWhat Changes When You See It All at Onceγ β’ No more "wait, I'm still paying for that?" moments β’ You actually know your monthly subscription spend β down to the cent β’ You catch renewal dates before they sneak past you β’ You stop paying for apps you forgot you downloaded γEverything Subscriptions, Organizedγ - Subscription Tracker β Add every service: streaming, music, gaming, cloud, and more - Monthly & Annual Totals β See your real recurring spend automatically calculated - Renewal Reminders β 3-day advance notifications. Cancel before it renews. - Visual Stats β Pie charts and monthly trend graphs. See where it goes. - Category Sorting β Group by type. Spot the waste instantly. - Offline, Private β Your financial data stays on your device. People say things like: "Found $80/month I was paying for and never used. Cancelled 4 services in one day." "The 3-day warning saved me from a $200 annual charge twice." "I thought I had 5 subscriptions. The app found 11." "I tried tracking subscriptions in a spreadsheet. I kept it updated for maybe two weeks." β A spreadsheet doesn't remind you. It won't tell you a renewal is in 3 days. This app does β automatically, without you having to remember to check. "I'll just check my bank statement." β Your bank shows what already happened. This shows what's coming. "I signed up for a free trial and forgot to cancel." β Add the trial end date when you register. You'll get a reminder before the charge hits β enough time to decide if you want to keep it or cut it. "Do the reminders actually work?" β Yes. 3 days before every renewal, your phone gets a notification. No more opening your bank app and wondering why there's a new charge. "Is my financial data safe?" β Everything stays on your device. No bank connection. No login required. Your subscription list never touches a server. "Am I imagining how hard it is to cancel?" β No. In 2026, the FTC sued Uber over Uber One β 28 million subscribers signed up in one tap, while cancelling required up to 23 screens and 32 actions. That's the industry you're up against. Subs Diary is built for the opposite: see every subscription, cancel before it renews, no maze required. "My bank statement shows charges I don't even recognize β I can't tell which service they're from." β When you register a service in Subs Diary, you give it a name you'll recognize. AMZN*PRIME becomes Amazon Prime in your list. The next time a charge you can't place shows up, your registered list tells you exactly what it is. "Do I need to pay?" β Tracking subscriptions and renewal reminders are free. Premium adds more. Price shown before you commit. γPremium Planγ See in-app for pricing. Subscription auto-renews unless canceled 24 hours before renewal.
